O Autoru(.Pdf O AUTORU Donald J. Trump oličenje je američkog uspjeha, kroz traj- no postavljanje standarda izvrsnosti širenjem svojih po- slovnih interesa na polju nekretnina, športa i zabave. On je doista arhetipski poslovni čovjek – netko tko nema prem- ca u sklapanju poslova. G. Trump započeo je svoju poslovnu karijeru u uredu koji je dijelio sa svojim ocem u Sheepshead Bayu, u Bro- oklynu, u New Yorku. Radio je s njim pet godina, pri čemu su obojica naporno sklapali poslove. G. Trump je jednom prilikom rekao: „Moj otac bio je moj mentor i naučio sam nevjerojatno mnogo od njega o svakom aspektu građe- vinske industrije.“ Na sličan način Fred C. Trump često je znao izjaviti kako je „neke od najboljih naših poslova sklopio moj sin Donald… sve što on dodirne, kako se čini, pretvara se u zlato“. G. Trump je potom ušao u znatno drugačiji svijet nekretnina na Manhattanu. U New Yorku i diljem svijeta, natpis koji nosi ime Trump sinonim je za najprestižniju adresu. Među tim zda- njima je svjetski poznati neboder na Petoj Aveniji, kao i luksuzne rezidencijalne zgrade Trump Parc, Trump Palace, Trump Plaza. Park avenija br. 601, Svjetski toranj Trump (najviša zgrada na istočnoj strani Manhattana) i Trump Park Avenue. G. Trump također je zaslužan za smještanje 166 DONALD J. TRUMP i izgradnju Kongresnog centra Jacob Javits na svom ze- mljištu, poznatom kao Ranžirni kolodvor u 34. ulici (Za- pad) i ukupnu obnovu vanjštine Grad Central Terminala u sklopu obnove susjednog Hotela Commodore i njegova pretvaranja u današnji Grand Hyatt. Ovaj se građevinski pothvat smatra jednim od najuspješnijih obnoviteljskih zahvata u gradu, zbog čega je dobio nagradu Odbora 5. gradskog okruga Manhattana za „ukusnu i kreativnu opo- rabu jednog znamenitog hotela“. U proteklim godinama, g. Trump je posjedovao mnogo važnih zgrada u New Yor- ku, uključujući Plaza Hotel (koji je obnovljen i kojemu je vraćena izvorna velebnost, kako je prenio New York Times Magazine), Hotel St. Moritz (danas znan kao Ri- tz-Carlton na Central Park Southu) i, sve do 2002. godine, zemljište ispod Empire State Buildinga (čijom prodajom je po prvi puta u 50 godina omogućeno da isti vlasnik po- sjeduje i ovu zgradu i zemlju na kojoj je sazidana). Pored toga, Trump posjeduje i trgovinu NikeTown, smještenu u 57. ulici Istok nadomak Tifanyja. Početkom 2008. godine, Gucci je otvorio svoju najveću trgovinu na svijetu upravo u Trump Toweru. 1997. godine, otvorio je svoja vrata svijetu. Ova 52-kat- na zgrada koja kombinira i stanove i super-luksuzni hotel smješten je na razmeđi Zapadne strane Manhattana, na uli- ci Central Park West kod Columbus Circlea. Projektirao ju je svjetski poznati arhitekt Philip Johnson, što je osiguralo da se njene jedinice prodaju i iznajmljuju po najvišim ci- jenama u Sjedinjenim Državama. Kao jedan od samo tri hotela u zemlji koji je primio dvostruko Forbesovo pri- znanje od pet zvjezdica i za hotel i za svoj restoran, Je- an-Georges, također je dobio Dijamantnu nagradu od pet zvjezdica od Američke akademije ugostiteljskih znanosti, da bi ga časopis Travel + Leisure proglasio najboljim po- slovnim hotelom u New Yorku. Časopis Condé Nast Tra- veler nazvao ga je hotelom broj jedan u SAD-u, a njegov GREAT AGAIN 167 inovativni koncept preslikan je diljem svijeta. Bio je do- bitnik Forbesovih Pet zvjezdica svake godine od 2009. do 2015. godine, a dobivao je i nagradu po „Izboru čitatelja“ časopisa Condé Nast Traveler svake godine od 2010. nao- vamo. Ove godine osamnaesta je obljetnica ovog dragulja u Trumpovoj hotelskoj zbirci. G. Trump također je intervenirao i na najvećoj parce- li u New Yorku, prijašnjem Ranžirnom kolodvoru na Za- padnoj strani, koji se danas zove Trump Place. Na ovom posjedu od 100 hektara uz obalu rijeke Hudson od 59. do 72. ulice, najveći je građevinski projekt kojeg je odobrila Gradska komisija za urbano planiranje New Yorka. Uku- pno je 16 zgrada podignuto na ovoj lokaciji, pri čemu je g. Trump podigao prvih devet vlastitih, a ostatak zemlji- šta prodao za visoku cijenu. G. Trump je također dodijelio priobalni park od 25 hektara na Trump Placeu i 215 metara dugo pristanište gradu New Yorku. Ostale akvizicije u New Yorku uključuju Trumpovu zgradu na adresi Wall Street 40, znamenitu 72-katnicu smještenu u Financijskom distriktu Manhattana, odmah preko Njujorške burze dionica, i najvišu zgradu u donjem dijelu Manhattana poslije novog Svjetskog trgovačkog centra. Ova nabava, koja se dogodila tijekom osobito teš- ke krize na tržištu nekretnina u New Yorku, smatra se jed- nim od najbolje sklopljenih poslova po pitanju nepokretne imovine u proteklih 25 godina te se smatra zdanjem s jed- nom od najljepših „mansardi“ u zemlji. Pored svega toga, g. Trump je podigao i zdanje na adresi Park avenija 610 (kod 64. ulice), ranije znano kao Mayfair Regent Hotel kojeg je uspješno pretvorio u super-luksuzni kondominij, postižući, svojedobno, naviše cijene na Park aveniji. Dalje prema istoku, blizu Ujedinjenih naroda, smješten je spek- takularni Trumpov svjetski neboder (Trump World Tower), 90-katna luksuzna stambena zgrada i jedan od najviših stambenih nebodera na svijetu. Trump World Tower dobio 168 DONALD J. TRUMP je brojne pohvale od arhitektonskih kritičara, pri čemu ga je Herbert Mushcamp iz New York Timesa nazvao „jednim naočitim staklenim tornjem“. Na isti način, Trump World Tower smatra se jednim od najuspješnijih stambenih ne- bodera ikada izgrađenih u Sjedinjenim Državama. 2001. godine, g. Trump je najavio planove za svoj prvi ulazak u Chicago, gdje je izgradio Trump International Hotel & Tower/Chicago. 92-katni toranj s 251.000 četvor- nih metara mješovite namjene smješten je na obali rijeke Chicago, odmah zapadno od Avenije Michigan (najzna- menitija je lokacija u ovom gradu) te je jedna od najviših stambenih zgrada u gradu i deveta po redu najviša zgrada na svijetu. Arhitekt je tvrtka Skidmore, Owins & Merrill, iz Chicaga, a toranj također uključuje i četiri razine malo- prodajnih trgovina. Hotel je otvoren u siječnju 2008. go- dine uz velike pohvale, da bi 2010. godine primio nagra- du časopisa Travel + Leisure kao Hotel broj 1 u SAD-u i Kanadi, kao i njihovu nagradu Najbolji poslovni hotel na svijetu 2014. godine. Časopis Condé Nast Traveler svake je godine od 2011. godine dodjeljivao ovom hotelu svoju Nagradu po izboru čitatelja. Ovaj hotel je dobio pet zvjez- dica u Turističkom vodiču Forbesa 2014. i 2015. godine te je svake godine od 2011. osvajao i Hotelsku nagradu AAA pet dijamanata. 2002. godine g. Trump je kupio legendarni Hotel Del- monico, smješten na križanju 59. ulice i Park avenije, te ga je prenamijenio u 35-katnu iznimno luksuznu stambenu zgradu zvanu Turmp Park Avenue. Bila je želja g. Trumpa da ga učini jednom od najluksuznijih zgrada u New Yor- ku, što je i postigao. G. Trump je bio hvaljen u čitavom nizu publikacija, jer je uspio sačuvati velebnost i šarm te zgrade, a istodobno u nju ugraditi usluge i pogodnosti 21. stoljeća. G. Trump suvlasnik je, zajedno s Trustom nekret- nina Vornado, znamenitog Tornja u Kalifornijskoj ulici 555 (zgrada Bank of America) u San Franciscu, jednoj od GREAT AGAIN 169 najvažnijih uredskih zgrada na Zapadnoj obali SAD-a i nagrađivanoj zgradi na adresi Avenue of the Americas br. 1290, jedne od najviših u New Yorku te najprostranijih u smislu raspoloživog uredskog prostora. Portfelj imovine u posjedu g. Trumpa također uključuje i Trump National Golf Club u Westchesteru, u New Yor- ku, teren za golf i rezidencijalni projekt koji je osmislio arhitekt Thomas Fazio te posjed na 250 hektara znan kao Rezidencija u Seven Springsu, bivšem domu Katharine Graham (iz Washington Posta) od kojeg će nastati luksu- zni stambeni projekt svjetskog ranga. G. Trump također je kupio jednu od najvećih parceli u Kaliforniji na oba- li Tihog oceana. Turnirski golf-teren Donalda J. Trumpa, nazvan Trump national Golf Club/Los Angeles, prokrčen je na ovoj lokaciji te je proglašen igralištem broj jedan u Kaliforniji. Potom još sedamdeset i pet luksuznih posjeda. Pored toga, Trump National Golf Club kojeg je projektirao opet Tom Fazio, prokrčen je u Lamington Farmsu u Bed- ministeru, država New Jersey, na Posjedu Cowperthwaite od 525 hektara te smatran najboljim u toj državi. Još jedan teren od 18 rupa otvoren je nedavno. U studenom 2008. godine g. Trump je dobio odobrenje da razvije Trump International Golf Links Scotland, smješten u Aberdee- nu, u Škotskoj, s više od 5 kilometara spektakularne rive uz Sjeverno more. Otvoren je 10. srpnja 20012. godine, a odobren je i drugi teren s 18 rupa. U srpnju 2013. go- dine, časopis Golf Week nazvao je Trump International Golf Links Scotland „najboljim modernim golf-igralištem na svijetu“. U kolovozu 2008. godine g. Trump je kupio golf-teren u Colts Necku, u New Jersey, koji se danas zove Trump National Golf Club/Colts Neck, a u veljači 2009. godine, kupio je parcelu od 800 hektara zemlje i klub blizu Washingtona, duž dijela obale uz rijeku Potomac dugač- kog pet kilometara, da bi ga pretvorio u Trump National Golf Club, Washington, DC. Još dva golf-terena dodana 170 DONALD J. TRUMP su njegovu portfelju 2009. godine. To su Trump National Golf Club – Philadelphia, i Trump National Golf Club – Hudson Valley. U travnju 2010. godine, novi reality-se- rijal, Nevjerojatni svijet golfa Donalda J. Trumpa, posti- gao je golemi uspjeh kada se počeo prikazivati na Golf Channelu. U Palm Beachu, na Floridi, g. Trump je prenamijenio poznato i povijesno imanje u vlasništvu Marjorie Merriwe- ather Post i E.F. Hutton, Mar-a-Lago, u privatni, super-luk- suzni Mar-a-Lago Club. Dobio je nagrade Američke aka- demije ugostiteljskih znanosti kao „najbolji klub igdje u svijetu“. Proglašen je Nacionalnim povijesnim obilježjem 1980. godine, a često ga nazivaju i „Draguljem Palm Bea- cha“. Također, u Palm Beachu i na sedam minuta od Mar- a-Laga, smješten je Trump International Golf Club.

For the overall Manhattan residential market CityRealty analyzed, consisting of condos, co-ops, and condops south of 96th Street on the East Side and south of 110th Street on the West Side; approximately 10,400 residential units are expected to close in 2019, down from 10,531 in 2018.

The median price of all apartments also rose slightly from $1.18 million to $1.2 million this year. Largely due to big-ticket purchases near the southern end of Central Park, most notably at 220 Central Park South, total residential sales of units sold for more than $10 million are projected to reach $4.60 billion by the end of 2019, up from $4.23 billion in 2018.
